Pedri: The referee should be investigated, and we deserved to qualify

Pedri, the midfielder of Barcelona, appeared in press statements after being eliminated from the Champions League following a 4-3 loss to Inter in the second leg of the semi-final, noting that the first leg ended 3-3.

Pedri said about the referee's decisions: "UEFA should investigate this referee because there were many decisions today that I didn't understand. This is not the first time this has happened to us with this referee."

He added: "As coach Hans Flick said, the decisions that were 50% for us and 50% for them were given in their favor. For example, the incident with Lamine, I see it as a clear yellow card against Mkhitaryan and maybe even a penalty. The player should have been sent off, and I don't understand why that didn't happen."

He continued: "I feel frustrated; we managed to come back after being 2-0 down, and I am proud of this team for what they did. The elimination is very harsh, especially after their third goal in the last minute. The team gave everything, and we deserved to qualify for the final, but we are a young team and we need to learn from this."

He concluded: "Next year we will come back stronger. Right now we are frustrated about what happened, that is clear, but tomorrow we have to think about the Clasico because it represents half of the league for us, and we will do everything to win."
